Description

The Bio Crossbow is the Recluse's signature weapon. Its primary fire launches a fast traveling bolt that deals moderate-to-high damage and has a slight arc, with spread from the aiming point only apparent at significant target distance. Its secondary fire launches a gas grenade that has very noticeable arc. The grenade deals moderate initial damage in a small area of effect around its point of impact, then leaves behind a cloud of poison that deals additional damage over time. Only the primary fire can critically hit.

Poison Grenade Secondary Fire

Poison damage type

Slower travel speed, very significant arc

Hits everything in range of the projectile when it lands, for roughly half the damage of the primary fire.

Leaves behind a poison cloud that does additional damage to targets that pass through it.

The cloud causes a short DoT (Damage over Time) that is applied and refreshed while within the cloud, and continues to do damage for a few seconds after leaving the cloud.

Very difficult but possible to critically hit

Damages user if they are within or enter the area of effect, both for the initial impact damage and the residual poison cloud DoT.
